LOL..."goes all wrong", is pretty vague, but I will try to address what you are asking. This is a really advanced drill for dogs who are thoroughly conditioned to all commands, specifically the turn whistle and here. Calling a dog off of that clearly visible and very tempting bird to take the command to go where I tell them to go is high level training and requires an experienced dog. If any of the prerequisite training and experience is not in place do not attempt to put it all together. Take some steps back in your training, concentrate on once piece of the drill at a time. For example: put your dog at hup remotely, (take several steps away from them) hand throw a clip wing bird, preferably in the direction in which you could intervene if necessary, release the dog for the retrieve then when the dog is half way to the bird, give the hup command, sit them down, and call them back to you without going after that bird. This is just one step of preparing for this kind of advanced drill. A good series to watch would be the Draven E-Collar Series, all of this series work can be done without an E-Collar, and prepares you and your working dog conditioning the commands you will need for future training. Also any of the Control videos are all part of getting to these Advanced skill levels. Hope this helps your friend😆
